• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

NX220, no channel names/tags

An odd problem has come up when programming my NX220 (firmware 1.23) with KPG141DN (ver 4.80). I've had this radio for a few years now, but haven't had to do any programming with/to it since I got it. I recently went to change the programming (add/delete a few channels) and although the programming was successfully written to the radio, the channel names have changed to just the zone and channel number ("1- 1" for example) instead of the name/tag I have in the software. The only thing that is different from when I originally programmed this radio is the USB programming cable; in the past I used a generic aftermarket cable that I misplaced and I replaced it with this one: NX-220 FTDI KPG-22 6 ft Radio Programming Cable
I can successfully read/write from the radio with this cable with the exception of the channel names.
I'm betting there is a box somewhere I accidentally checked or unchecked, what do you all think?

Channel display in key assignment must have been added. Had a nx5300 user do the same thing. Undo what you added.
